A tree moving device is provided that includes a plurality of points for interconnecting to a basket that contains the root structure of a tree. The tree moving device includes a plurality of arms that provide locations for hooks that are interconnected to chains that receive the basket. Thus a system is provided that provides 360 support of a root ball of the tree. It is envisioned that the tree moving device be lightweight, thereby facilitating transportation and reducing manpower required to transport and plant the tree.
